Augmented dyed equipment do not feature the cogs associated with most augmented items (they look identical to non-augmented versions). Disassembling augmented dyed items does not return the dye. Dying in unsafe player-versus-player (PvP) combat with this item drops a broken elite sirenic hauberk - the dye, augmentor, and gizmos are lost.

Armour gizmos charged with perks can be used to enhance the item's abilities. As a body slot item, the Augmented elite sirenic hauberk (shadow) can hold 2 gizmo's, allowing up to 4 perks (2 perks each).

Using this item in combat can gain experience to increase its level. Levelling the weapon will have no effect on its ability in combat, but it will improve the experience and materials gained for disassembling it.

The Augmented elite sirenic hauberk (shadow) uses charges stored within the item (not in the universal charge pack). It degrades exactly as the non-augmented version does: it has 100,000 charges of combat. These charges can be replenished by combining it with a non-dyed, augmented variant of the same item. This will combine the charges of both items but any excess charge will be lost, furthermore only one version may have perks on it. When combining two items the greater item experience of the two items is retained.

The item can be trained and siphoned as normal while it has charges. Once it runs out of charges, it will retain its equipment bonuses until it reaches equipment level 10, where it will become unusable and has to be recharged or be disassembled. This will return an un-augmented, broken elite sirenic hauberk (shadow). It can then be repaired and re-augmented as normal. A dye can be used on an augmented, undyed version to produce this item.

Unlike normal augmented items, this item is made at an Inventor's workbench from a new, fully charged item, an augmentor, and 36 divine charges. It cannot be made from a partially used component. Augmentation dissolvers cannot be used on this item. Additionally, it can be made by dyeing an undyed version or upgrading a non-elite version.
